The mathematical law that shows why wealth flows to the 1% | The Guardian
2012-01-04 19:14:00 The economist Edward N Wolff, of New York University, has pointed out that, as of 2007, the top 1% of households in America owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% had 50.5% of the wealth. This means that just 20% of the people owned 85% of the wealth, leaving only 15% ...

Big green business | The Economist [del.icio.us]
2009-12-11 20:31:00 [I]t should be clear that there are many ways that firms can actually improve their margins while cutting emissions when given a nudge (by public attention or regulation or carbon price) to do so. It's worth remembering this as some business groups go to the mat to fight against climate legislation. A lot can be accomplished by simply giving firms an incentive to quit being wasteful.

China stats bureau economist warns on economic slowdown
2008-07-13 05:30:00 From QuamnetFUZHOU, China (MNI) - China's economy is in its most difficult position in five years, a senior official with the government statistics agency said Friday, warning of a looming slowdown on the back of shrinking external demand and rising costs.National Bureau of Statistics chief economist Yao Jingyuan said that GDP will likely grow at around 10 pct this year - higher than the average 9.7 pct expansion rate of the last 30 years - but warned of the risks posed to the economy that are rooted in the US subprime crisis and record oil prices."China's economy is facing the most difficult and complex conditions, both domestically and globally, in the past five years," he told a conference FridayYao's comments come less than a week before the scheduled release of first half economic data which analysts expect will show a pronounced slowdown from 2007's torrid 11.9 pct expansion.Trade numbers released Thursday showed a bigger-than-expected fall in export growth, raising concer...
McCain's no economist, he's confused about Obama's tax plan - and apparent
2008-07-08 01:54:00 Senator Obama?s plan will not raise taxes - it WILL provide a bigger break for middle class Americans than Senator McCain?s plan. As numerous outside observers agree: McCAIN?S claims that Obama will raise taxes are ?WRONG,? ?FALSE,? ?MISLEADING? Do you trust factcheck.org? That' s one of many sources cited in the article McCain?s claims that Obama will raise taxes are wrong.It?s misleading to tag Obama for something that was built in to the Bush tax cuts. Remember that they are set to auto-expire - that's the law Bush signed.Senator McCain has announced that he would balance the budget by 2013.The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the unified budget deficit will be $443 billion in 2013 assuming that expiring tax cuts are extended. To balance the budget in that year John McCain would have to pay for all of his campaign proposals plus cut another $443 billion of spending. To give a sense of why this pledge is not credible, cutting spending by $443 billion would requir...

Bank Indonesia expected to raise key rate by 25-50 basis points: economist
2008-06-04 04:04:00 Bank Indonesia (the central bank/BI) is likely to raise its key rate by 25-50 basis points at the meeting of its board of governors on Thursday as the on-month inflation rate in May reached 1.41 percent, an economist said. "I think the BI Rate will be raised by 25-50 basis points this month in view of the high inflation rate last month," Fauzi Ihzan of PT Standard Chartered Bank said on Tuesday. The rise in BI Rate was not aimed at easing inflationary pressure but at stemming the expected high inflation rates, he said. The current inflation was chiefly caused by the global inflation triggered by a surge in food and energy prices, he said. "The current inflation is caused by a surge in global food and energy prices that no any other central bank in the world can stem. So, the rise in BI Rate by 25 basis points or more will only stem the expected high inflation rates in six months` time rather than to reduce the inflation rates," he said. Even if the BI Rate was raised by 2...

the economist on san francisco business etiquette
2008-05-19 06:35:00 It's great to see The Economist try its hand at giving advice for businessmen traveling to San Francisco. It reads a little like a field manual for a new potentially hostile territory.Here's what they say about meeting etiquette."Meetings and greetings• It is important to both start and end appointments on time. If you’re driving between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, add 20% to your travel time and always take highway 280 over highway 101 if you can—it is usually faster and always prettier. When possible, schedule your meetings between 10am and 3pm to avoid rush hours.• Don’t be offended if people neglect to shake your hand or take your business card in large business meetings. Americans (and Californians) are more informal than you may be used to. • Having said that, carry as many business cards as possible, after making room for all the newest high-tech gadgets.• Be generous with your contacts.

Economist: U.S. housing slump may exceed Depression
2008-05-10 22:51:00 An influential economist who long predicted the housing market bubble cautioned Tuesday that the slump in the U.S. housing market could cause prices to fall more than they did in the Great Depression and bailouts will be needed so millions don't lose their homes. Yale University economist Robert Shiller, pioneer of the widely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index, said there's a good chance housing prices will fall further than the 30 percent drop in the historic depression of the 1930s. Home prices nationwide already have dropped 15 percent since their peak in 2006, he said. "I think there is a scenario that they could be down substantially more," Shiller said during a speech at the New Haven Lawn Club. Shiller's Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index is considered a strong measure of home prices because it examines price changes of the same property over time, instead of calculating a median price of h...

"[People] want it to be near the bottom, but we're not there yet. The leading indicators are still very bad. Pending home sales are still in bad shape. Mortgage applications are low ? There's still supply out there in abundance ? This thing is going to get worse before it gets better.""We're probably going to end up with a 20 percent [decline], but if I'm wrong it will be even more than that" "I didn't think this would turn into an all-out bursting of a balloon for the whole nation""That (lending) got so out of hand, and none of us realized the m...

Indonesia's economy under threat of high external inflation: economist
2008-04-23 02:38:00 The Indonesian economy is expected to be under a threat of high external inflation this year due to a surge in the global crude and food prices, an economist said. The threat had been noticeable now following a recent increase in the prices of several food commodities in the global market, Martin Pangabean of state-owned Bank Mandiri said in an "Economic Outlook 2008" report here on Tuesday. "Countries in all parts of the world, except Indonesia, saw their year-on-year inflation rate in February 2008 climbing by five- to ten-fold from a year earlier," he said. Domestic inflation pressures would be caused by at least three factors -- global food prices, the rupiah`s exchange rate against the dollar, and the pressures of global crude price spiral on the state budget, he noted. Based on the bank`s forecast, although the rupiah`s exchange rate against the dollar currently reached a reasonable level of Rp9,258 a dollar it still had the potential of weakening against the green...

Internet advertising - The ultimate marketing machine (Economist.com)
2008-02-21 11:21:00 Thanks to the power of the internet, advertising is becoming less wasteful and its value more measurableIN TERMS of efficiency, if not size, the advertising industry is only now starting to grow out of its century-long infancy, which might be called "the Wanamaker era". It was John Wanamaker, a devoutly Christian merchant from Philadelphia, who in the 1870s not only invented department stores and price tags (to eliminate haggling, since everybody should be equal before God and price), but also became the first modern advertiser when he bought space in newspapers to promote his stores. He went about it in a Christian way, neither advertising on Sundays nor fibbing (thus minting the concept of "truth in advertising"). And, with his precise business mind, he expounded a witticism that has ever since seemed like an economic law: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted," he said. "The trouble is, I don't know which half." Wanamaker's wasted half is not entirely proverbia...
